CLIPPINGS

MEXICO Inteiligencer: 1t is said
that since the drouth nothing has
been heard of the Hessian fly or
the army worm, and it IS the
opinion of old farmers, and espec-
tally wheat raisers, that the hot
parching season has effectually
killed them off. If this be true,
wheat sewers will have nothing to
fear this fall from those pests.
They can SOW early, and run no
risk of the rayages they work.
The whole country east Of Mex
leo, Audrain Co., was on fire
Tuesday. The farms of w. f.
Reed and Earl Cunningham were
swept by the flames, taking
fences, hay-stacks and everything
coming in reach, and but for a
cornfeld which stopped the flames,
thousands of acres would have
been burned. The loss is very
heavy. The fire caught from an
engine on the Chicago and Alton.
There had been no rain there
since July 2, and everything is
parched, and this being great
| stock country cattle are suffering
terribly from the effeets.-Deaf

Thnrsda, morning street faklr
found his way into our quiet little
city and proceeded to sell jewellery
according to his style. After
selling a few cuff-buttons and re.
funding double the money, he
proceeded to sell watch chains
rings and watches. Finally {
friend of one of the watch-chair
victims tried to advise him il
regard to watch, when the fakil
commenced abusing the advising
citizen after which a warrant was
sworn out for the arrest OF tn,
"smothed tongue" fakir on the
charge of vagrancy according t.
the city ordinance. The fakil
plead guilty and was fined 5000
and costs which after everything
was paid amounted to nearly $500
This is four of this kind OF ped
) dlers and swindIers that hav
visited our city during the las
three months, so the only way t.
: stop this traffic is to enforce the
law and appoint guardian TO

What is his Disease.

A consultation of several of our
physicians will be held this even
ing in Prof. Gilchrist's Office, after
a diagnosis in the case of A. d.
Fulkerson, who is confined to his
room by disease that battles the
medical fraternity. The diagnosis
will take place after the patient
has consumed seven boiled pota-
toes. eleven hot biscuit, broiled
stake as big as your foot, one doz-
en- boiled eggs, five cups black
coffee, a dozen stewed and a dozen
fried oysters. Even on this diet
he is growing thinner every day
and his case is considered mar
velous one.-Chillicothe Tribune.

is LOCAL OPTION GONSTlTUNAL?

Opinion Of Hon. Jas. G. Blair.
The law simply provides that
upon a vote being had against the
sale of intoxicating liquors and
the publication thereof, ETC., as
required by the said fifth section,
the law shall take effect over the
people or voters thus voting, and
no more. In its legal effects the
people are voting to accept the
law, to adopt the law, to accept
its provisions, that its provisions
shall take effect over them. The
people cannot vote to adopt, or
accept, d law, Or tho PROVISIONS OF
law, or that a law shall take
effect over them unless law
already exists. AS well talk of
adopting a child when none exists.
In the case to which the senator
aiIudes in our own state, and |
will add, in all other states where
the courts have declared certain
laws (so-called), unconstitutional,
the point made by all the courts
was that the so-called laws were
not laws at all; that the legislatures,
instead of making the so-called
laws laws in fact, had by the act
tried to delegate legislative powers
to the people that they might
make laws instead of the legislat-
ure. But in every case in our own
supreme court, as well as the
courts of other states, the courts
have declared over and over again
the right of the people to vote, to
adopt, or accept such laws, or to
accept the provision thereof. or
that the provision thereof shall
taks effect over them. Section 16
Mo-, SS, and As Mo-, II, concerning
the incorporation of towns; 23.,
Mo-, 4S3, 40 Mo-, AS, authorizing
towns, and villages to adopt the
school law; So Mo, 295., auther-
izing township organization; 62,
Mo-, 1SS, declaring stock laws
unconstitutional. In regard to
the latter, the Legislature passed
another law similar in character,
which took effect from Legislative
and gubernatorial action, and moi
from a vote of the people. Its
provisions are submitted to pop.
ular vote upon petition as the
Wood law, and the legal effect Of
a majority vote to enforce the law
is declared to be to adopt the law
act 1883, PFC, and its constit-
utionality stands unquestioned.

The True Wife.

OftentlmeS l. have seen a tall
ship glide by against the tide as if
drawn by some invisible bowline
with hundred strong arms pull
it. Her sails unfurled, her
streamers dropping, she had neith-
er side wheel nor stern-wheel; still
she moved on stately, in serene
triumph with her own life. But [
knew that on the other side Of the
ship, hidden beneath the great
bulk that swan so majestically,
there was a little toilsome steam
tug, with heart OF fire and arms
of IRON, that was tugging it brave
ly ON, and I knew that if the little
steam tug untwined her arms, and
left the ship, it would wallow and
roll about and drift hither and
thither, and go off with the refu-
ent tide, no man knows whittier.
And SO l have known more than
one genius, high deckea, full
freighted, idle-sailed, gay-pennon-
ed, but that for the bare, toiling
arms, and brave warm-beating
heart of the faithful little wife,
that nestled close to him, so that
no wind or wave could part them,
he would have gone down with
the stream, and have been heard of
no mOre.-Oliyer Wendell Holmes
A fellow who signs himself
civilian Long, 113 Pearl st, New
York, Basement is sending circu-
lars to parties here offering to sell
counterfeit money. That is what his
circular means, though he does not
say so in so many words. 1t is the
old sawdust swindle again, and
the dupe who sends his hard earn
ed money will receive nothing in
return for it. The sawdust swim
dlers are nearly played out in
New York, though occasionally
one crops out by circular sent to
a distance. Throw all such offers
in the fire. They are worse than
frauds. They want you to give
yourself away as criminal by
writing to them for counterfeit
money, when they don't have any
such money, never did have any
and never expect to. They want
their customers to come to New
York, its safer, you know" and
they take all the money the con-
fiding one will shell out, and in
return give package of sawdust
with instructions ''not to open till
safe at home" Such imposters
should be given very wide berth.
